[SOLVED] Start and some things not working. I have tried multiple things to no luck

[waffl212]

I wasnt really doing anything out of the ordinary until I had to restart, and Windows updated something quick. I have tried System Restore and that doesn't fix it too.

Not sure what else isn't working. I can't use (windows+shift+R) to crop my screen and opening a photo or video file shows a File system error, (-805306367) if that means anything.

I am using an eluktronics Mag-15 running on Windows 11. Help would be appreciated!

Which version of 11? Are you on 22H2 yet?

open task manager
choose file/run new task
click create this task with admin privileges
type cmd.exe and press enter

copy this into window:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
and press enter (if you type it, spacing needs to match)

after it completes,
Then type SFC /scannow
and press enter

Restart PC if SFC fixes any files as some fixes require a restart to be implemented
First command repairs the files SFC uses to clean files, and SFC fixes system files
SFC = System File Checker. First command runs DISM - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/what-is-dism?view=windows-11

SFC Didn't repair anything. Also settings from the taskbar doesn't work.. I swore the bluetooth settings worked last night. But yeah. I'm not really sure how o check the version now that I can't open most of the settings..

use the file/run menu in Task manager again
type winver and press enter
a pop up will show windows version... or should.

You may want to try updating windows 10 if you still on 21H2
On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB
It is safer to make on a working windows PC

once usb made, with PC running, put USB into PC
go to file explorer & navigate to the USB drive
run setup and agree to upgrading the PC

If you on 22H2, we could try a repair install - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

There's a Windows11 version on that site. I should follow that instead yeah?

If your PC can run win 11, its up to you.
It will replace windows 10 instead of just fixing it. Hopefully that will fix it in process.

It's always been on W11

I did know that earlier... slaps self

Okay, 22H2 might fix it. the changes between it and 21H2 aren't that big. Being on newest means we could try a repair install after if its needed.

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-windows-11-with-an-in-place-upgrade.418/ << try this

all it does is replaces windows. everything else should be as it was before... hopefully working this time. You will need to get the updates again, it returns windows back to how it was just after installing 22H2 first time. Only a few updates since release.

if an update was the cause, that should fix it.

ignores fact he went around in circles for a few posts.

Hey thanks for the help! This one worked like a charm. I'm not sure if it's on my end or W11 updates has been buggy from time to time..

I had to do one a few months ago, Windows update is to blame.
Glad it worked for you
